Featherston B230 Contour Chair

The stylish B230 armchair was part of Grant Featherston’s iconic “Contour” range that originated in the early 1950s when Featherston dreamed of making a chair that would be a “negative” of the human body to create the concept of contour comfort. In total, the Contour range incorporated more than 25 chairs and settees along with occasional tables, dining tables, and storage furniture. The B230 was designed in 1953 with moulded and shaped plywood shell, padded and upholstered, tapered cylindrical legs, fitted to two diagonally crossed rolls beneath the seat. This has just been reupholstered in new silvery blue crushed velvet.
